Description
# 2008-W Burnished Gold Eagle 1 oz - PCGS MS70 Blue Label. An exceptional numismatic treasure from the prestigious American Gold Eagle series, this 2008-W Burnished Gold Eagle represents a pinnacle of modern U.S. Mint coinage. Struck at the West Point Mint with an incredibly low mintage of just 11,908 pieces, this coin stands as a true collector's highlight. Graded a perfect PCGS MS70, this burnished gold specimen showcases impeccable preservation and stunning visual quality. The coin features the iconic Augustus Saint-Gaudens Liberty design on the obverse, reimagined by Miley Busiek, with exceptional strike quality and lustrous burnished surfaces that epitomize the collector's version of the American Gold Eagle. With a total population of only 954 coins at this grade level, this piece represents an extraordinary opportunity for the discerning numismatist. Composed of 91.67% gold, with additional silver and copper alloy, this one-ounce gold eagle weighs 33.93 grams and measures 32.7mm in diameter. The 2008 burnished issue is particularly noteworthy for its extremely limited production, making it a significant rarity in the American Gold Eagle series. Struck during a pivotal year in the U.S. Mint's production history, this coin offers both exceptional metallic value and significant numismatic collectibility.
